Recenzje

"We still don't have enough Niitsitapi researchers and scholars in political science, and we certainly don't have enough works like Michael Lerma's Guilded by the Mountains. For this is without question a groundbreaking book. It swhould be a fundamental for scholars who work incoparative political theory. It is also relevant for scholars interested in settler colonialism and what James Scott calls the "shatter zones" of sovereign states." - Robert Geroux, Project Muse, Theory & Event
